Vive la France!
Happy Bastille Day!
Model: Lily Donaldson
Photographer: Patrick Demarchelier
Publication: Vogue UK August 2009
Stylist: Kate Phelan
Now this is the Paris of my dreams... the newest ready to wear pieces so artfully and skilfully constructed they might as well be couture on your back as you stride purposefully around the empty belle-epoque streets lined with imposing, but not intimidating buildings. The best thing about these clothes, all fresh-from-their-boxes FW 09 Paris collections is that Lily could be anyone in them, a particularly chic lawyer rushing to drop a deposition, a gallery-girl bright young thing on the way to a glamorous opening, a whimsical young parisienne on her way to a costume party, a style doyenne taking a breather from the hustle and bustle of paris life, a leggy and genetically blessed model posing in front of artefacts... It's hard to say which is the most glamorous of the lot!
I'd take them all over struggling student living at home any day...
I've just got back from Hong Kong and have the better part of 24 hours in Sydney before i go off to Melbourne to au pair and then into the depths of the country for my internship at Channel 9. *sigh* the things i do for my future!
But today, at least, i will be settling in with a tray of Jean-Paul Hevin macaroons from Hong Kong (of all places!), a baguette and liberal smatterings of fromage d'affinois as well as a selection of french films to celebrate one of the defining days in one my favourite country's history. I hope you are too!
